“Both parties are ready for out-of-court settlement,” the prosecutor said, adding that the accused had realized her mistake and had begged the complainant and her husband.

“The complainant and her husband are in court with a withdrawal letter to settle out-of-court,” the prosecutor stated.

Olotu, resident at Bello Street, Ikosi Road in Ketu area of Lagos, who is being tried for assault occasioning harm, pleaded guilty to the charge.

Magistrate Sule-Amzat, in her ruling, struck out the case for out-of-court settlement.
